Return to the Congolese political scene: Martin Fayulu denounces the maneuvers of electoral fraud and attacks Félix Tshisekedi
Martin Fayulu, president of the Ecidé Party and leader of the Lamuka coalition, recently held a meeting at Boudha land in the commune of N’djili. During his speech, he strongly criticized Denis Kadima, president of the Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI), whom he accuses of having been placed at the head of the institution to orchestrate electoral fraud in favor of the power in place. . But Fayulu did not stop there, he also attacked Félix Tshisekedi, current President of the Republic, claiming that it was Joseph Kabila who appointed him to this position, despite his victory in the 2018 elections. According to Fayulu , Tshisekedi would be ashamed to admit this truth and would lose his mind if someone said that it was he, Fayulu, who should have been elected president.
The objective of this ECIDÉ meeting was to denounce the ongoing electoral process in the DRC, which they consider chaotic, and to request an external and independent audit of the CENI electoral register.
These statements by Martin Fayulu highlight the deep division that reigns within the Congolese political class. Tensions and rivalries between the different actors are palpable, and accusations of electoral fraud are commonplace.
It is important to note that Fayulu is part of the Lamuka coalition, which includes several Congolese opposition leaders. This coalition had backed Fayulu in the 2018 elections and contested Felix Tshisekedi’s victory, saying it was actually Fayulu who won the polls.
This new diatribe from Fayulu highlights the deep divisions within the Congolese political class. Rivalries and tensions abound, and suspicions of electoral fraud continue to weigh on the democratic process in the DRC.
It is essential that the Congolese political class find common ground and work together for the good of the country. Congolese citizens deserve responsible leaders who care about their interests and who are able to meet the many challenges facing the country.
In a country where political stability is essential for development, it is crucial that political actors put aside their differences and work together for the common good
